Astral Drive Links

Self-titled Astral Drive album #2... sort of... aka "Green". Although this is an album of new recordings it’s designed as a companion piece, an extension to the original Astral Drive record.

“After playing my songs solo and acoustically during promotion of the album, Andrew at Lojinx gave me the idea to strip down and "recycle" the summer-bleached original recordings and go back to their green grass roots, the essence of the songs, with me singing at the piano.”

“I recorded the original album with an avalanche of ideas and off-the-cuff performances that caught the vibe, in the moment. I aimed to capture the spirit of the songs as they bubbled up from a fragment of melody or a line of scribbled lyrics and formed into a full-on production.”

“The theme of this 'Green' album was to strip away the production from the original recordings and shine an astral light on the songs from a different angle. I re-recorded them in a more basic form, added some spicy herbs, and then served it all with some chilled vibes. Like an astral green curry.”

“There's a few name-dropping guest performances from Keith Scott on guitar and Gary Breit on piano and vocals (Bryan Adams band), David Munday on harmonica (who had sat in on my live performances) and Kasim Sulton (Todd Rundgren’s band) on vocals. My daughter Maddy also sings harmony vocal too.”

So, here it is... Astral Drive, the 'Green' album, back to basics with, hopefully, a few spicy surprises.
